What are the options? Did you buy with an OS?
Yes and Windows worked yesterday. Options are continue to windows, troubleshoot, use a device, turn off your PC, Use anothe ropearting system. Nothing works, it just brings up the same screen even when I reinstall Windows.

I've had something similar happen to me in the past, could be a hard drive issue? I'm not a pc expert but I had to get mine repaired and it turned out I had damaged the mechanical hard drive and went SSD instead.

@Syze - have you checked the interior and ensured that everything is fitted correctly and doesnt need reseating.

Its just the rounds it has done it makes you wonder if its been tossed about a bit and things might be loose - lets hope not damaged.

If Windows worked yesterday what did you do to it?

You say you've reinstalled Windows. How did you do that?

What are your specs (post them please)?

If you have more than one drive, are you sure you haven't installed more than one copy of Windows - one on each drive?

Specs in the original post, didn't do much, downloaded updates and a few apps.

Can you run windows installer and take a picture of your windows partitions at the start?
Maybe tomorrow, I appreciate everyone's help but I packed it all back up tonight, I'm thoroughly fed up after the hassle of trying to get my hands on the thing and now this, I intend to return it and buy a Mac, never had trouble with those in 10 years, back to windows for one day and its done this.
